Modular Sofa by Jorge Zalszupin in Hardwood, Steel and Fabric, Brazil, 1960's
-
Description
This modular sofa by Jorge Zalszupin, designed in the 1960s-1970s, is a standout piece thanks to its innovative use of contrasting materials. The combination of wood, steel, and fabric reflects Zalszupin's mastery of blending industrial and organic elements. The sleek metal frame pairs beautifully with the warm wooden legs and olive-green upholstery, while integrated side tables with wooden frames and white inlays add both practicality and visual appeal.
The legs of the sofa are particularly striking, showcasing a unique contrast between the aged, slightly rusted steel components and the rich, dark wood. This interplay of textures creates a sculptural quality that enhances the overall design.
A unique feature of this piece is its adaptable seating units. The chairs are not fixed and can be lifted and rotated to face either direction, allowing for a dynamic setup that adapts to your space or needs. Additionally, the magazine holder at the end of the structure can be completed in-house with a custom leather insert, restoring its full functionality and charm. -
